Hello! it will be my pleasure to help you out. i would have loved to know the lenght of your cycle to appreciate the possibility of a pregnancy.From what u just described, there are two main possibilities to start with

1. Pregnancy. This must be objectively eliminated. It is the most frequent cause of missed menses for sexually active females! Pregnancy tests are simple to use. The search for the hormone called hCG which is produced by a developing pregnancy. If there is pregnancy, hCG appears in blood and urine. Simple pregnancy tests use test strips which search for hCG in urine. It is so simple you can do it in your bathroom!! Just get one, get urine, dip the strip in urine and watch for color change. Follow the instructions for each specific brand u use. U can buy them on local stores around you or buy online if u wish.

2. Excessive exercise and even rapid weight loss may create hormonal imballance and delay your menses. But before you think about this, make sure you have done the pregnancy test and it is negative. U can also repeat it if needed.

If you have any vaginal bleeding, lower abdominal pain or other strange symptom, consult your doctor. If the pregnancy test is negative and there is NO other symptom, you might just wait.
